1. Are you curious about how digital systems can be attacked and defended?

Yes, understanding both offense and defense excites me Somewhat, I want to learn more Not really, that feels too technical

2. Do you enjoy analyzing data to spot anomalies, intrusions, or suspicious behavior?

Absolutely, pattern recognition interests me I can with tools I prefer less analytical tasks

3. Are you comfortable learning about networking, protocols, and how data moves across systems?

Yes, I like understanding infrastructure Somewhat, if explained clearly Not really, networking confuses me

4. Do you have an interest in cryptography, secure communication, and protecting sensitive information?

Definitely, I find secure systems fascinating A little, I’d like to understand the basics No, math-heavy security isn’t appealing

5. Are you motivated by protecting organizations or individuals from cyber threats?

Yes, defending others matters to me Somewhat, depending on the context Not especially, I don’t feel responsibility there

6. Do you enjoy troubleshooting and investigating incidents when things go wrong?

7. Are you interested in ethical considerations and responsible disclosure in security?

Yes, ethics are central to me I’m learning about them I haven’t thought much about it

8. Do you enjoy keeping up with rapidly evolving technologies, vulnerabilities, and threat landscapes?

Yes, continuous learning excites me I can when necessary I prefer stable, unchanging fields

9. Are you capable of communicating security risks and recommendations to non-technical stakeholders?

Yes, I can simplify complex ideas I’m improving in that area I avoid translating technical content

10. Do you enjoy working both independently (e.g., pentesting) and collaboratively (e.g., security teams)?

Yes, I’m adaptable to both modes I prefer one but can manage the other I strongly prefer only one style
